with Steve Alford, UCLA Head Coach;former University of New Mexico Men's Basketball,4x MWC Champions, 2x MWC Coach of the Year;former NCAA All-American, NBA guard and Olympic Gold Medalist;former University of Iowa Head Coach

Coach Alford covers every aspect of shooting in this video. Building your Shot begins at the free throw line with the catch and pivot, proper alignment and a shooter's attitude. Coach Alford then demonstrates simple techniques to expand your free throw into jump shots and shooting off the dribble. Learn how to correct "a flying elbow" and a poor pivot. Focus on correct alignment with Coach Alford's four-point checklist and develop the proper attitude to become a successful shooter. Finally, these principles are put to work in various shooting drills.

I was pretty disappointed in Alford's shooting video. Pretty simplistic and not much meat. The drills were interesting but I was looking for way more on shot mechanics details. Alford's alignment presentation was over simplified and very incomplete. No discussion of shooting grip, balance hand management, how the hand finishes. Big toe over the nail is great, but where does the ball start? Where do the eyes start?Alignment of other body parts? Is the shooter right or left eye dominant? Elbow angle? Wrist angle? Rhythm of the shot? Great player but not a great video.
